A limited edition Sam Adams cask ale has been brewed in celebration of American Independence Day on 4th July.
Blonde Ambition is a 4.5% abv cask ale which was brewed at Shepherd Neame’s Faversham brewery, to a recipe devised in conjunction with the Boston Beer Company.

Shepherd Neame, the Kent-based brewer and pub operator, today announces the purchase of four freehold pubs from Enterprise Inns plc. These high quality pubs are all located within the Company’s heartland of East Kent and further strengthen the Company's footprint in this area. The pubs are based in Canterbury, Deal, and Whitstable.

The Ship and Trades at Chatham Maritime has been named Pub of the Year in the Shepherd Neame Pub Awards.
Thirteen of the brewery’s 350 pubs in the South East collected awards for different aspects of running a successful pub, such as serving great food, pulling the perfect pint or being at the heart of the local community.
